Annual gala

Every year we host a gala for our swimmers to compete against neighbouring clubs. These friendly competitions are always great fun and atmospheric.

So that all swimmers who have different disabilities can compete fairly and equally, we use a special timing method which means that all swimmers have to submit the time for their race ahead of the gala. The winner of the race isn’t the one who finishes first but the one who can match their pre-submitted time the closest. It’s about winning against your personal best.

Each lane is then watched by individual timers.

After the races, the competitors are rewarded with their medals and trophies.

Where we swim

Support Pimlico Puffins

As a small swimming club, run by volunteers, we rely entirely on the generous donations from our supporters.

From subsidising the bus for our swimmers who otherwise wouldn’t be able to access the sports centre to organising annual outings for everyone, from taking our swimmers to local competitions to providing swimming aids to our members, your support means a lot to us.
